摘要: Clustered graphs have been widely consisted in Graph Drawing to overcome the problem of drawing large (or huge) with thousands, or perhaps millions nodes. Force-directed algorithm is one available approaches draw such good layouts. However, force directed methods are often produce very different layout outcomes based on clustering algorithms that greatly affect quality final result. In this paper, we propose a 'dummy element' approach for clustered by using traditional force-directed algorithm. Our attempts maximize satisfaction aesthetics graph drawing. The experimental results shown our new method can reduce side effects choosing and improve
